Now a Property of the Disney Juggernaut
Indiana Jones: American Epic Hero by Stephen Klugewicz
A fictional character who is hardly devout.
The essay is similar to calls by Catholics to engage the culture, specifically mass culture, when it increasingly seems like there is very little of it worth preserving, even stuff from the 80s. Do we have better American heroes to emulate? Different regions will have different answers...

Lotsa STAR WARS News This Morning!
Disney Announces FROZEN 2!
Or just a more careful selection of what mass entertainment products to consume, and making sure one supports the right side of the culture war (like American Sniper)?
It isn't too difficult to see what movies are bad, and Hollywood may not miss my money, but the psychological sense of liberation may still be worth it once a decision has been made.
